    the problem is with the right main column which is dropping down to sit below the left column. obviously both columns should sit side by side

    switch doctype to transitional and let us see again. Currently the page is not xhtml strict, as it contains styling.

    Or better still, if you are using a template, get back to defaults and do all the styling in css.

    Problem seem to be with changing screen resolution. Fixing the page width could resolve the issue.
